Spirit Airlines adds 2 new Caribbean destinations

Spirit Airlines sets its sights on the Caribbean and Central America by spreading with two routes.

Later this year, the carrier Dania Beach, based in Florida, will add a service from his hometown to Fort Lauderdale in Belize City, Belize and Grand Cayman, the Kajman Islands.

The Belize City Service will start on November 21st to three times a week. Flights will work on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Meanwhile, flights to Grand Cayman flew on December 4, also three times a week on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Belize City is a new point on Spirit's Route Map. It represents the sixth new destination that has been added to the airline so far this year, after Key West, Florida; Macon and Savannah, Georgia; Chattanooga, tennessee; and Columbia, South Carolina.

These supplements will expand Spirit's base at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) to more than 100 departures at peak at more than 70 destinations by the end of the year.

Belize City is a brand new destination for Spirit, but this is what was served from Fll in April 2020, according to the Cirium schedule. Southwest Airlines managed this route before being cut for pandemic and never renewed.

Meanwhile, Spirit was last flying between the Fll and Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) at Grand Cayman almost 20 years ago; He briefly performed flights between the airport from February 2006 to September 2008, Cirium states.

Since then, both southwest and jetblue have been making flights from Fll to Grand Cayman. Jetblue was last flying a route in April 2022, while Southwest stopped flying in this market last June.

Although Spirit has passed a huge business transformation itself because it appears from bankruptcy, so are the southwest and jetblue, two of the other main competitors of airlines at Fort Lauderdale.

The Spirit seemingly feels the opportunity to grow at the airport in his hometown at the expense of southwest and Jetblue, and does so with these new routes oriented on her spare time. These routes will also like those based in southern Florida, seeking an alternative to fly by US Aviocamopani from Miami International Airport (Mia).

Of course, with a schedule of three times a week that works during the top winter season, these routes are quite low role for the spirit, but it will definitely be interesting to see how they perform.

Spirit -s new flights are already available for purchase and start $ 160 for Belize City and $ 140 Grand Cayman in each direction.
